ouch dawn is just having hissy fit AFTER hissy fit isn't she - makes you want to slap her up the head huh. *smile* good chappie

very good read. like the strong, decisive buffy. thanks for the read.

I liked Buffy's talk with Xander and the truths she pointed out. I also liked that she told him that Spike was her friend and her thoughts later when she realized that the only time she had revoked his invite to her house was after he had told her how he felt. Buffy’s guilt towards Giles shows what a good heart she has. Now if she could only reach Dawn. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it.

Kill Giles while she's not looking! Muahahahahaha

I'm glad you made Buffy a stronger, more independent character in this story. It always bothered me in the series that, for a powerful heroine, she was so ruled by what others thought of her.
